FEDERAL HEIGHTS, Colo.—A bear wandering around a suburban Denver neighborhood has been tranquilized and will be taken back to the wild.

The bear was first spotted in a backyard in Federal Heights Monday morning. KCNC-TV (http://cbsloc.al/IDYlo0) reported that the bear climbed a fence and got into a neighbor’s yard before trotting down a sidewalk.

Wildlife officials warn that drought concerns could mean more bears may head into Colorado towns during the warm months this year.

In western Colorado, wildlife officers on Sunday euthanized a bear that had been labeled a nuisance. Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials say the bear appeared unwilling to leave the city of Craig. The Craig Daily Press reports the bear was spotted in the yard of a home, and it left a hole in someone’s fence.
